In P2B we have been checking our knowledge of written number names and matching it to the number. We played a numeracy game (Fruit splat numbers to words) on the smart board which helped us recognise the numbers and their names.

We have been learning our two times table.
We have been listening to a song to help us learn our two times table.
We listen to the song during our Big maths CLIC session, Miss Boyes pauses the song after each multiplication sentence and we work in pairs to write down the answer to the calculations as quickly as we can. We will continue to practise this so that we can complete each calculation as quick as a click.
Our spelling words this week were tricky words and they had the “I” sound for inky mouse. We had to take a picture of our spelling words and then we completed different spelling activities.
In handwriting we have really progressed with our letter-join. We have been learning to write our spelling words by using letter-join. We have been practising writing out spelling words in a sentence.
In writing this week we wrote a food advert. We had to use our senses to describe our favourite food. We were persuading the reader to buy the food at the supermarket. Miss Boyes wanted to buy all of the food after reading our writing.
In reading we have continued to use different skills to complete our task maps. This lets us show our understanding of our story. We read the questions together as a group and then we write our answers in sentences.
We have started our transport topic this week. To begin our topic we discussed what we already know about transport and what we would like to know. Together as a class we made a mind map of all of our ideas.
We came up with some fab ideas…
Maya asked “How does transport move?”
Kasia “What transport do they have in other countries.”
Aaron “I want to learn about the transport which takes you to the moon… Rockets.”
Brooke “I want to use different materials to build transport.”
Miss Boyes has transferred some of our ideas onto our learning wall.
We started the topic off by learning about transport from around the world. “We found out that in Venice they have boats called Gondolas because Venice has a lot of water.” – Maya.
“To travel to Islands called the Maldives you have to go on a sea plane, I think this is because they don’t have space for big planes to land.” – Andrew.
“In Thailand they have tuk-tuks,”- Calvin. “In San Francisco they have trams because it is very hilly there.”- Jakub.
This week we have started our daily mile. The daily mile is a run which we complete around the school.
The daily mile helps us keep fit and healthy.
Our structured play has been updated to reflect our new topic. We are really enjoying completing the new activities throughout the different curricular areas. P2B really enjoy learning with P2M.
There’s so much learning taking place in your classroom, what a busy week you have had. It’s great to see you working with primary 2m on your structured play, I know you all enjoy this time together.
